I required the help and advice of Jenny regarding a distressing and previously unknown situation in which I found myself concerning a tenant that I recently had to evict from my rental property.
In my error I had not protected the tenants deposit as required by law. As a consequence the tenant wanted financial compensation.
The nature of the request I found upsetting and frightening. Jenny responded to my request for help in a very timely manner and was immediately reassuring, kind and patient with myself. She fully explained my situation and not only listened but completely understood my distress. Her calm professionalism and reassuring nature gave me the support and strength to be able to deal with this through her help. This experience was a very steep learning curve for myself and I could not have dealt with any of this without her and her teams kindness and care towards me for which I am truly grateful.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 11 March, 2025:
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Kate. We're so pleased Jenny was able to provide the reassurance, guidance, and support you needed during a difficult situation. Your kind words are truly appreciated!

Karen Jones
Collected on:
Very happy with the overall service. Easy to deal with and provided help and advice. Karen was friendly with a sense of humour which really helped with our anxiety as there were a few occasions when it became stressful. She was thorough and explained the legal terminology. The only minor negative was lack of update on the app, not really worth downloading.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 03 December, 2024:
Thank you for your kind feedback, Karen! We're delighted to hear you were happy with our service and that Karen made the process smoother for you. Your input helps us get better—thank you!

Karen and the Coodes team were fantastic to deal with and acted very professionally in helping me through a very stressful time, doing lots of chasing due to the inadequacies of my mortgage lender.
Communication was fantastic and they guided me through the process easily.
Highly recommended.
